When accessing Panda GateDefender eSeries for the first time, you need to go through a set of configuration steps before accessing the graphical user interface (GUI). Find below the steps that need to be followed:

Access the device

The first time you boot-up your appliance, you will need to connect a workstation (laptop or desktop) to the Green (LAN) interface of the device.

If you are connecting directly from your device to the appliance, then you will most likely require a crossover cable.

If you are accessing the appliance through a switch or hub, you can use a simple straight-through Ethernet cable.

The default IP of the appliance is 192.168.0.15, so you will need to set a static IP on your local machine within that Class C subnet (/24). So, for example, you could set your device to use the IP 192.168.0.100 with a netmask of 255.255.255.0.

Panda GateDefender eSeries default IP: https://192.168.0.15:10443

Once you have reached the initial Panda GateDefender eSeries wizard screen, click the Forward button for the Installation Wizard to start.
